I don't believe that would be entirely accurate... Shared memory is many time used as a communication mechanism between two processors. Now I don't know specifically about ISM or GPU/CPU communication, but it would seem to make sense that the messaging stack being larger would alleviate the needs for throttling and stalls on a RTOS...
